Why is my Abu Dhabi police clearance certificate still under review?

Thank you for reaching out!

If your Police Clearance Certificate application in Abu Dhabi has been showing “under review by the concerned party” since Tuesday, it generally means that your file is being checked by one of the security departments before approval.

This can happen for various reasons, such as a name match, previous case history, or just internal backlog. While the process is usually quick, it may take a few working days depending on the circumstances.

If it continues to remain stuck beyond five working days, we can help follow up directly with the authorities or file a formal request to expedite the process, especially if you require the certificate urgently for visa or employment purposes.

Feel free to reach out to me directly on WhatsApp or phone at [----------] so we can guide you more specifically based on your situation.

Hello,

Your police clearance certificate application is still under review, which can take a few more days depending on processing times.

Please check the status online using your application reference or contact Abu Dhabi Police customer service at [----------] for an update.

Make sure all your documents were submitted correctly, as missing info can cause delays. Let me know if you need help following up.

Hello,

Possible Reasons for “Under Review by the Concerned Party” Status:

- You have a pending police case or complaint (criminal, financial, or civil).

-There was a past case that hasn’t been officially closed in the system.

- Your name matches someone else with a case (a name match or similarity issue).

- The police are conducting a deeper check due to previous visa overstay, deportation, or financial issues (e.g., unpaid debts, bounced cheques).

- There is a pending travel ban or immigration flag that triggers a manual review.
